Assistance for Advent

Tune: Bristol

('Hark, the glad sound')

*******

Help us, Lord, our ears to attune

For your return be soon

Once came as babe, a manger small

Shall return Lord of all

 

Where unprepared, give grace in need

That we still on you feed

By faith on you in your hearts, so

Your presence we shall know

 

Light of the world, dispel our dark

That we to angels hark

As at the time of your birth they

Proclaimed the gospel's day

 

Glad tidings, peace on earth to all

May we on your name call

You full human and full divine

Born true of David's line
